Steps to reproduce

Inside comments i get snippet completions, I have no C# related extensions installed other than omnisharp.

Expected behavior

In comments there shouldn’t be any completions at all or at least upon manually invoking them.

Actual behavior

Snippet completions appear inside comments.

@jrieken Note that I’ve also seen instances of the above but with no tokens in the list, only snippets from csharp.json.

@jrieken We provide snippets in the form of json files/snippets entry in our package.json (https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/blob/master/snippets/csharp.json) and (https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/blob/master/package.json#L830). They seem to show up in comments even though we don’t provide any other C# intellisense in comments. I think this is happening because

• C# intellisense isn’t provided in comments, so VS Code provides token-based intellisense (see screenshot)
• The snippet completion provider detects a non-empty list and provides snippets

What can we do to make this not happen? This basically seems like a limitation in the VS Code platform to me–I don’t see anything in the docs that allows us to control where a snippet is shown.
